Braids is a Canadian indie rock/shoegaze ensemble hailing from Calgary, Alberta. The band was formed in 2006 and consists of members Raphaelle Standell-Preston, Katie Lee, Taylor Smith, and Austin Tufts.

With their unique blend of indie rock and shoegaze influences, Braids has garnered critical acclaim for their atmospheric soundscapes and introspective lyrics. Their music captures the essence of raw emotion and vulnerability, creating an immersive experience for listeners.

Known for their captivating live performances, Braids has toured extensively around the world, showcasing their talent on stages big and small. Their dedication to pushing boundaries and experimenting with different musical styles sets them apart as true innovators in the indie rock scene.

Braids are a three-piece experimental pop band from Montreal. In the spring of 2015 they released Deep In The Iris, their standout third record. Companion is the band's latest 4 track EP, written during the Deep In The Iris sessions, and completed during a burst of creative energy in August 2015. Here Braids use the palette of Deep In The Iris to paint decidedly different vistas - joy, disaffection, thunderous explosion to delicate introspection, the minimalistic power of Companion to the patient blossoming of Sweet World.Distinct in their own right, these 4 songs are not to be dismissed as b-sides, outtakes, or the lesser of a group of songs. Though it uses Deep In The Iris as a compositional guidepost, Companion is a breathtaking journey all of its own.
